“The lesson of the Notre Dame scandal is clear: even our leading Catholic universities have lost their way, and they need precisely the sort of clear direction from the bishops that the 2004 policy on Catholic honors and platforms represents."

AMEN!! THE BISHOPS NEED TO TIGHTEN THE SCREWS!!!

Heavenly Father,
in these trying times
when the spirit of the age
threatens Christian values,
give our bishops holiness of life
and wisdom to direct and guide our Church
family so that we may grow in your love.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.


Amen.

Amen.

The lesson of the Notre Dame scandal is clear: even our leading Catholic universities have lost their way, and they need precisely the sort of clear direction from the bishops that the 2004 policy on Catholic honors and platforms represents.

I disagree. The directions have been clear and are already understood. What is needed is consequences for disobedience. The bishops should be excommunicating individuals and removing the Catholic status of institutions.

Here is a link to the newsletter.

While this newsletter was full of liberal tripe, I honestly can't see where it contained the language in question.

What it did say about the Board of Directors meeting was this:

ACCU’s Board of Directors met June 11-12 at the University of San Diego. Gratitude was expressed to Dr. Anthony Cernera, president of Sacred Heart University, whose term as ex officio member just concluded.

In response to a request from Bishop Thomas Curry, chair of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Catholic Education, the Board held a lengthy discussion concerning campus speaker policies. This conversation continued a dialogue started by Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, who informed bishops in 2006 that their document “Catholics in Political Life” warranted further clarification regarding its application to Catholic higher education.

The Board asked ACCU staff to draft a document portraying the nature of the student body entering Catholic colleges and the principles which guide Catholic higher education’s mission, programs, and processes. The document will be national in scope and also reflective of considerable differences among institutions. The document’s principal purpose is to shed light on the core educational challenges, opportunities, and contributions of Catholic higher education.

ACCU’s next Annual Meeting will be at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Washington, DC, January 30 to February 1, 2010.

While this may have been stated verbally during the meeting, as you can see it wasn't in the report. I think that LifeSite needs to provide a better reference for their claim...because right now it looks like a case of calumny.

Don’t forget banning gay marriage supporters too.
